Delicious Oatmeal Blackstrap Molasses Cookies

Tonight, one of the lovely ladies from the Veggie Board of Weight Watchers, ValerieMaha, suggested some blackstrap molasses recipes so that I can sneak some iron into Lorie's meals. Since Lorie will always eat a cookie, this was the perfect recipe, and it was very delicious!

Oatmeal Molasses Cookies

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 cup molasses
1-1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup white unbleached flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup quick-cooking oats

Cream sugar and butter together in a large mixing bowl. Add egg and molasses; beat well. Add sifted dry ingredients and mix well. Add vanilla then stir in oatmeal. Drop from teaspoon onto greased baking sheet.

Bake at 375° for 10 to 12 minutes, until done. Makes about 4 dozen oatmeal molasses cookies



Well, the recipe builder for Weight Watchers says 1 points per cookie-- BUT that is if you make 48 cookies. I didn't count them, but for the size that we made, we found that we made about 36 cookies and they ended up being 2 points each-- still not bad for a wonderful cookie that actually had a nutritional component to it!

Hi there! I found this recipe after googling for blackstrap molasses cookie recipes. I just wanted to say it turned out great I am so happy! I was looking for a healthier cookie for my 2 year old,and I love how this incorporated whole wheat flour in addition to the nutritional goodness of the molasses and oats. Thanks for posting this...these are going to be made all the time in my kitchen!! :)

Hello! Same scenario as above but these cookies are all for me! :) Always better to indulge a sweets craving with something you won't totally hate yourself for in the morning. Just had my first cookie hot out of the oven and it's awesome. Thanks for posting this!

Hopefully these tips and tricks from a "seasoned" Tetris player like me will serve
to help your game. The game derived its concept from Peg Solitaire,
a board game called Brainvita. Tetris gets the credit for revolutionizing computer games and making educational games widely popular.
The more pathways that exist, the better able we are to come up
with solutions to problems faster. This game is located on a Hugh variety of free online games websites with a
lot of different versions within the game, some classics and some are pretty brand-new and up-to-date.
